After dominating the college ranks amidst an impressive junior season, former UConn big man Adama Sanogo will have a chance to do some damage at the next level. The Bamako, Mali product was not taken in the NBA Draft, but signed a two-way contract immediately afterward with the Chicago Bulls, making him the third Husky to head to the pros this year.
Despite an impressive junior season where Sanogo led the national champion Huskies in scoring (17.2 points per game) and rebounding (7.7 per game) and earned First Team All-Big East and Final Four Most Outstanding Player honors, Sanogo was not a lock to hear his name called Thursday night, largely due to his lack of size, at 6-foot-7.
